What's even more irritating than that, is that you can go to almost any corner in Baltimore right about this time at night and pick up a Springfield .45 - no paperwork required. I'd leave the Z at home for that trip...

What I have read from several FFLs is that they did not want to be the target of any legal action should they release a firearm to a purchaser after the 7 day period to find out that some whackjob takes out a family or worse and then they are taken to court for liability because they were disapproved when MSP finally ran the NICS check. Even though it would fail, the costs associated with defending themselves would likely be tremendous if not catastrophic for some of the smaller FFLs.
